The book is out!

It’s been a great team to be a part of. I am happy that my submission was chosen to be a part of the book. Having written two other books, I can safely say that no. 3 has been the most painless experience of the lot. I can appreciate the concept of a community driven book that’s rapidly formulated, well edited and published rapidly.

More importantly, the license allows others to extend and evolve the concept even further should they wish to. Lastly, the book should eventually get translated to German, Japanese, Mandarin, Russian & Spanish through O’Reilly’s global distribution network.

The book is no.1 for Software & Architecture on Amazon now:

#1 in  Books > Computers & Internet > Hardware > Design & Architecture

and more significantly:

#5 in  Books > Computers & Internet > Programming > Software Design, Testing & Engineering > Software Development

You can buy the book here:

And you can also get the content here if you wish to run through the wiki:

John Davies was kind enough to get it plugged for us on TheServerSide.com!!!
